Based on the technology of Adobe Air, here a
small free utility that allows you to
customize the interface of Adobe Photoshop CS4, and adapt it to each user needs :
Adobe Configurator 1.0.
With a simple and intuitive interface,
Configurator allows you to create
your own panels of tools, integrate them to Photoshop CS4 in the Extensions menu, use them in accordance with your desires and even
share them with other people (via
Adobe Extension Manager CS4).
Well, after defined the dimension of your panel, thanks to a
Drag and Drop system, you have just to choose desired icons among four categories :
-
Tools such as pen, eraser, brush, lasso...
-
Commands for opening new file, the function Copy, paste or cut...
-
Actions/Scripts : if you have already made scripts in Photoshop, you can insert them in your panel
-
Widgets for integrate text, pictures, Flash animation, a little search engine...
If you want to download Configurator, you can click
